OMG! Dude!!! Professor Snead strikes again!
WOW WOW WOW!
Shuuwweeet!!
Ok, where to begin?
Notable Sneadified Mecha points:
The Head: Very Snead. I like the flat and rounded contours of the head.
The Shoulders: Oooohhhh! Look at the curves and smooth look! and they pivot
with the rest of the arm, using a clever very narrow Sneaded joint Technique.
cool - cool - cool
The Chest: Studs going in different directions with tiles and the like,
sweet, the pilot area is uncovered by the hinged door, coolie.
The Spine: oooohh neat rounded 1x2 slopes, mmmmm Blue. Really nice design.
The Waist: KOOL Look at the center waist area with those angles, very Kool!!!
wow wow wow. definete design statement! sweety sweet!
The Hips: Nice Kick out w/ the SBD joints. gives a good range of motion,
something I hope to include in a Mech sometime. ( Ok I promise I will! )
The Arms: Ooooh, Blue fingers! Nice! works good - Right on for Master Gla!
I like the boxy arms, I dig the plates overextending past the elbow.
How do the wrist work? How are they connected?
The Legs: Hey look hidden thigh craft, very compact, dang youda man!
Cool "textures"
The Feet: Hmmm, at first I recognized them as a premade part, I see that
they work well with the design. I ALWAYS say, look to the simple for the
answer, so many times have I tried to be fancy and the best answer is right
inder my nose.
This works. Ohh wait, what's that, huh, are you using the Ball Joint to
stick a little blue thingie in it to help act as an ankle stop?!!? INGENIOUS!!!
OHH MAN!!
The Stiffen Tech: oh interesting, I admit I don't have any of those yet. I
also admit I rather make my own joints than rely on something pre-made for
me. I'm still trying to make a Mech using Ball Joints. I suppose once I do
that I'll have more of an appreciation for the "right to the point Joint
Tech out these days" I do see the benifets, like the ol creedo, form and
fuction.
Having these SBD Joints allows for a minimun of requirement so the form can
flow. I'll try it one day. Either way, very clever. I was wondering: If
someone was not able to get their hands on 80mm wire, what else is around of
common origin that could pass for the same thickness? A paperclip? pushpins?
What do you recomend if one does not have the right size wire, what else
could you use to get the same effect? Toothpicks?
Overall: Pretty darn near perfect! (holds up "9" scorecard)
I admire the way you refine your techniques, I dig how it's BLUE!
I would make a suggestion, throw one of those SBD joint in the head so the
neck bends, that would really make it.
Well, another hit Dr. Snead!
Great job!
Hall of Famer!
I hope to see this one in person - soon -
Good Luck with the Jet pack, I love jet packs. mmmmm jet packs.
Don't stall either I wanna see a Flight Master Jump Jet Pack on Andromeda!
Lastly, cool names.....
